4:23 also interesting to note is that linus is the only one who pees in the first place. You can never find an actual bathroom in this game besides the spa.
I never thought of the lack of restrooms in Stardew, and now that I am it seems ridiculous that everybody goes up to the spa any time they need to use the toilet.
@@residentgrey I tried it out on the island farm, and the grassy areas work, but not the walnut spots on the sand/beach. Havent tried outside the farm yet
@hasslfoot idk. An alcoholic falling in love with a person who constantly gives them attention, quitting alcohol to get them to marry them, leaving the child their meant to take care of to marry said person, then falling back into alcohol and trashing the person they married's house is pretty realistic I'd say.
@hasslfoot To be serious though, Penny is as unrealistic as all the others. Her story is a savior's complex dream. There's a this super sweet girl who is super soft to children but really shy around others until you get to know her and then as you talk more to her you find out she's a slave to her alcoholic mother... Yeah, her situation is about as realistic as any other marriage candidate. In that there are genuinely exactly people like that out there, but the fact she just gets married to someone who "saves" her and then she has a happily ever after is just so unrealistic. It's a fantasy for both people like her in neglectful homes, and a fantasy for those that want to "save" people like that. IRL shy girls that come from homes like that are very rarely saved. They escape themselves. And when they are saved they still need to put in effort to get help otherwise they often repeat the same generational abuse. That's not a critic of the game, because it's a cozy farm game, it doesn't need all that. It's just nothing about Penny's story is less realistic then Alex or Sebastian. So I don't know why your saying it is.
The being able to skip ConcernedApe's screen is indeed useless. I have quit the game to desktop just to boot it up again because I missed being able to click on ConcernedApe and to get a honk or a squish. Skipping him would just be Yoba-less behaviour. BTW, it is my firm belief that you get better loots during the honk-sessions.
Plus it's powerful for if you wanna get a powerful weapon in ridgeside village Oh btw you can get ice cream before 1st summer just wait in spring around 7pm and Clint may go next to the ice cream kiosque when he's heading for Gus's
@L0rem Ipsum it's great if you want a chance at finishing the CC before winter, as one of the items in the Field Research bundle on the bulletin board is a nautilus shell, which only appears naturally on the beach in winter. It is, however, also one of the items that Demetrius might send you in the mail.
You know, the skull caverns being floor 121 of the mines in the code actually explains something else. Why the bats change on floor 880 of the Skull Caverns. Because in the code, you just surpassed the 1000th floor of the mine and are now on 1001
It is possible to softlock the game if you get hit by the train in Harvey's 10 heart event, as your character cannot pathfind to him after getting knocked to the side. Though the train is invisible as well
@@eliseserenity8876 Yes. You have to reach 100% perfection to "beat" the game. But it doesn't end, you can continue to play after that cut scene for as long as you want.
@@eliseserenity8876 the perfection "ending" is a bit like minecraft's "ending" of defeating the enderdragon. you've technically won if you want a goal like that, but you can keep playing and do whatever you want afterwards
If the Farmer doesn't have spouse, Lewis or Morris will appear at the Summit depend on the route they've finished. If they finish the Community Center, Lewis will appear, but if Joja Development Project finished, Morris will. Krobus is an exception who doesn't count as a spouse but a roommate.
The thing with Lewis in the summit also happens if you marriage a mod npc and remove it before going to the summit, so its probably some type of safety mechanism
@@slymarines57 Literally not true. When you're socialising with her and getting to know her _that's_ when she's depressed and upset. But after you marry her, she's happy and gets to do whatever she wants. Yes I've married Penny in one of my playthroughs and no I don't regret it. (also don't take this too seriously, I mean this reply in a very lighthearted manner.)
Useless piece of knowledge I just found. If you do Sebastian’s 14 heart event when it’s Salmonberry season or blackberry season, You will collect the blackberry/salmon berry. As the interacting of the bush for that event counts as interacting with it.
I did not know that Penny was a romanceable character. Now that I know, I’ll romance her by gifting her a bunch of bunny feet! I can’t wait to have zero beautiful children with her! Thanks for the very useful information!
The Topaz Ring one is wrong btw. It reduces the RNG in your attacks; so if your sword normally dealt 4-8 damage, for example, it'll deal 5-7 damage. Still useless, tho
@@salmence100 It's also kind of more useless than before because it theoretically makes your weapon weaker, since while it cannot hit lower, it can't hit higher either.
this is very useful because i mass purchase ice cream to use as food in the mines! I used to buy 999 icecreams during the summer but now i can make the horse do it! thank you sm
Correction on the Topaz ring, once you reach floor 120 of the normal mines, it actually makes a few changes like increasing enemy hp and attack by a random amount, and making it so that your attacks have a chance to miss.
Additionally, if you download certain mods (such as Stardew Valley Expanded) accuracy becomes a more prominent mechanic against certain mobs (learned that in a very painful way)
Could you elaborate on the miss chance? Because I don't think I've ever missed an attack in 800 hours of play time. The wiki does say that your miss chance doubles after reaching floor 120, but 0% chance to miss will still be 0% no matter how many times you double it.
Also the fishing one is not technically true. I just ran a bunch of tests and did not catch a sunfish once in my first time fishing. I would like to point out that my friend however caught a sunfish in the middle of winter in the mountain lake when he joined one of my later year worlds so maybe it's true but it's not 100% of the time.
you said attacks can't miss, but when you attack a lava lurker while it's under the lava, it says "Miss". maybe it gives a chance to hit the lava lurker? or not.
I all ready knew all of the facts for Krobus because even though i have played stardew valley more then 4 times i have never actually not chosen Krobus as a housemate
Fact 17 - you can get stuck between the train and a wall, can be circumvented by entering the crafting menu. You take no damage in it, and the train still moves.
Krobus not joining you when reaching the summit is part of why I stopped playing the game. I was going to play until perfection because I knew that there was a cutscene with your spouse at the end and wanted to see what Krobus would say; but when I found out that there was no cutscene for Krobus it's what finally made me put down the game. (Krobus is my skrunkly)
@@bbd121 The joke is that Salamence dislikes Penny so much that he considers the fact that she is romanceable to be useless knowledge because he will never date her The joke below that is that he obviously doesn't mean this and it's entirely tongue in cheek
Even more useless fact: the beach map during the Dance of the Moonlight Jellies is technically a freshwater body. If you could use your fishing rod there (which you can’t), you would catch bream and other river fish
25 Not Useless Pieces of Stardew Valley Knowledge 1: You can plant a fairy rose then place bee hives around it to earn money. 2: Rare dialogue is always nice and free friendship. 3: 3 Villagers like holly and you can sell it. 4: Having the blue fits the rest of the building and who wants to violate something? 5: Rare dialogue once again but even rarer. 6: You said it yourself, quickest way to get to the mines pre-warp totems. 7: You can use ice cream for friendship. 8: Lore is always useful for telling your own stories. 9: Penny is another villager needed for true perfection. 10: Either way, you gain friendship with one. 11: This can be used to decorate in a creative way. 12: Confirming that you cannot marry Robbin. 13: An exclusive and rare animation.(also not many people use the gift log) 14: Some of it is true but the warp totem is because he didn't want to come home. 15: Crop Fairy is obvious and the dead crops is a bug (I think at least). 16: The topaz ring is for sling shot to increase accuracy. 17: Quick way to get back to the farm if needed. 18: Easy friendship 19: Sunfish is needed for community centre or for money and easy legendary fish. 20: Use the alternate map for extra storage. 21: You might just want to play faster. 22: Exclusive map and dialogue. 23: Nice for knowing exact time. 24: Lore about how Linus may be the only human. 25: Krobus is sensitive to sunlight and exclusive dialogue and cutscene. I spent far too long on this but eh who cares it was fun. Ps. This comment is just a joke because Penny is useless.
The plant in golden walnut isn't useless. I saw a thing somewhere say you can plant a bee plant (I don't rememwbrr the name) and instead of taking up farm space the bees (I think) are on grass instead of usable farmland
You do not always catch a sunfish as your first catch regardless of where you fish for it, as you demonstrate in the video by getting a smallmouth bass as the first. The sunfish is set as the default fish, but what that means is that if you do *not* hook a fish on your first catch, ie. if you hook trash or seaweed/algae, you will get the sunfish because it needs to be a fish to show you the tutorial. If you hook a fish, it will only be a sunfish if you're fishing in the river on a sunny or windy day in spring or summer between 6 am-7 pm and you didn't hook any of the other fish present in the river at that time instead. A piece of information as equally useless as the ones in your video, however, this one is correct 😉 Also, the summit scene isn't really the end of the game. There are things only obtainable in the game *after* reaching perfection.
No actually, you're still wrong. What actually happens is that any fish with an ID higher than 152 get replaced by sunfish - so you can't catch most difficult fish. So low ID fish will be normal, and harder fishes will be replaced by sunfish. Now, this has a further exception. For this exception, there are fish that don't use the normal fish catching routine, like mines fish and legends. They occur after the 152 ID check, so you could catch a lava eel as your first fish, for example.
That fishing one might differ on the switch port of the game as I remember playing split screen with my sister and she managed to catch (and I kid you not) an octopus. It took her a bit but because you can't fail the first time fishing she actually got it.
Yeah it's a little wrong. It's if you were to catch nothing it forces a sunfish and at level 1 you have a large chance to catch nothing so it seems guaranteed. If you actually hook a fish you can catch anything
Yup... Went for perfection not wanting spoilers on the cutscene Krobus was my roommate The disappointment when Lewis started talking to me was immeasurable 😂
The walnut spots are actually really good for honey. I have a fairy rose and 27 hives just east of the farm parrot transport station. Never stops, and never takes up crop space.
If you get stuck in the train between a tree you dont pass out. I accidentally did this while chopping some trees down and didn't notice the train coming and got stuck. Tooooo funnyyyyy
I find the fact that this game violated the Geneva convention hilarious. Cause really, who’d expected one of the least violent games out there to violate a convention that, in addition to other wartime humanitarian issues, dictates what is and isn’t a war crime
What about the Geneva convention would be violated if the cross on the medical building was red? I thought that had to do with elements of war not dictating what colour crosses can be in video games.
hmm i didn't know that i can skip the game startup... have to try next time there is a japanese word 塵も積もれば山と成る(chiri mo tsumoreba yama to naru) meaning "even dust can pile up and form a mountain" or something like that
1:51 I know Robin is unavailable and has a family and all, plus the game makes that pretty apparent with her living situation and spending hours just standing beside Demetrius at the mountain. But oh MY GOD😂 this was surprisingly dark.
I don't think the fishing thing is quite correct. I saw a BlaDe video the other day where he said that you can only catch fish of a very low difficulty and if you get a harder one, it defaults to sunfish. The legendary fish somehow bypass that rule, so it's indeed possible to catch the Legend that way, but not because it's raining.
@@demoige7948 Yeah. It took several in-game years to get the algae and seaweed for it. And even then, he only got to level 10 after fishing the entire day, and only after catching the angler and the legend.
